Best Practice: We recommend that you enable exams at least two weeks prior to the start of the exam window. This gives test-takers enough time to schedule their exam appointment and helps ensure we can plan capacity needs appropriately.
Steps for Exam Entry:
1. Log into you Blackboard account.
2. Navigate to the course you would like to enable online proctoring for.
3. Navigate to the "Content" section and hover over the "Build Content" tab to find the Meazure Learning ProctorU Platform tool in the options provided.
Note: The naming mechanism of the Meazure Learning/ProctorU tool is created by your administrator.
4. Navigate to the "Unproctored Exam" tab.
Note: Unproctored Exams are exams within Blackboard that are available within the Learning Management System, but are not yet configured for proctoring. Proctored Exams are exams within Blackboard that have already been configured for proctoring and have the appropriate settings applied.
5. Click the "Configure Exams to be proctored" button next to the exam you would like to configure.
Note: LTI 1.3 is compatible with both Blackboard Base Navigation and Blackboard Ultra exams.
6. Proctoring Settings:

Editing the exam: If you need to edit your configured settings, navigate to the "Proctored Exams" tab, find the exam you need to make adjustments to, and select the gear icon. All changes must be made 24 hours in advance of the exam window.
